Voting One Nation: Refugee Entrepreneur On Government Overreach

She escaped Laos as a child, spent three months in a Thai jail and built a $25 million rice paper roll empire from nothing. Now Nahji Chu, better known as Lady Chu, is fed up. Her family crossed the Mekong at night and arrived in Australia as refugees. She built Miss Chu into a $25 million business and then lost it. Today she's fighting tax, council red tape and even some of her own customers, and she's ready to sit down for a bánh mì with Pauline Hanson.
